Former Real Madrid player David Beckham, who is also a co-owner of Inter Miami, is allegedly wooing Croatian player Luca Modric for the club. The Englishman is taking steps to get the signature of the Ballon d’Or winner because of Lionel Messi’s knowledgeable suggestion.

During Lionel Messi’s long campaign at FC Barcelona, Luca Modric played on the side of their super rivals, Real Madrid. 38-year-old Luca Modric has until June 2024 to play at Real Madrid, after which he will become a free agent. Modric has also been playing fewer matches at the club recently.

Former player Pedja Mijatovic revealed that David Beckham met with Luca Modric in Croatia recently, where both had a meal. Many teams have sought Luca Modric’s signature, according to Mijatovic, and among them was a club from Saudi Arabia. Modric allegedly rejected all those overtures, willing only to serve Real Madrid. David Beckham seems excited now that the Croatian playmaker’s days at Real Madrid are coming to an end, hoping the Ballon d’Or winner will accept Inter Milan’s offer and thereby fulfil Lionel Messi’s desire.

He has received offers from the United States, from many teams and from this one in particular. He already had the one in Saudi Arabia but he wanted to stay in Madrid. Messi himself has personally been interested in the possibility. In Croatia, a few days ago, Modric met Beckham, where they were eating.

There has been the situation of putting all one’s eggs in a basket at Inter Miami lately. Lionel Messi’s injury has been a sizeable hindrance to Inter Miami’s climb up the points chart, and no one has been able to replace the player. This could be why Lionel Messi sought to help the club, which pays him a lot of money, by suggesting a player that could help him carry the burden. Some of Messi’s former teammates at Barcelona are also with him at Inter Miami but have not been able to function in his role.

However, people wonder whether Luca Modric’s salary would not be too big a hurdle for the North American club.
